SimCity

[MacinJosh]

In other strange news today, Electronic Arts has finally pulled their collective head out of it's ass and is slated to release a new version of the classic SimCity in 2013. I'm such a happy person right now. I've been waiting for this day for so long. Hopefully they will release it for OS X in addition to Windows.

I have been playing since SimCity 2000. And that has been a real long time ago.

i played the original.. back in 6th or 7th grade on a macintosh plus... then I got it on my PC.. wow.. big difference! never looked back.

[MacinJosh]

A Macintosh Plus? Wow. I never got to use one of those. In elementary we had Apple IIe's and Mac LC's. My grandpa bought a Centris 660av and bought SimCity 2000 for me to use when I came to visit. I love that game and always will

I remember the apple IIe. I had a computer class that we had to type 45 words per minute to pass. I changed the clock settings so I could type 65 or so. Ha ha

Cheater, lol. Did you ever play SimCity growing up?

I grew up playing it on the Commodore 64. The little squares filled in with more black as things built. Hahaha...it changed so much since then.

I did play sim city, but it wasn't until late in its life. My parents didn't believe in technology or something. Our house was like the dark ages. I did a lot of hunting though.

Didn't believe in technology? You poor tortured child, lol. My mom embraced technology because she used it at work all day long.

I had a Nintendo, and then my dad won me a Playstation. I had a Sega Genesis. Plus all my computer games. And computers in the house since I was 8.

You had a Commodore 64, too?

Yep...I was coding on it before I had the 1541 floppy drive. All I had was the tape drive.

I had a VIC 20 with only a tape drive (I think it was a 1531 model). I learned 6502 machine language before I even learned PASCAL, C, or FORTRAN.

This made me think of this Futurama episode with the robot who had functioned off tapes...

Old days there when computers had the GIANT floppy drives to play like Indian trail. Lol

The god's eye view was what I liked about it. Gave an omniscient perspective. What are my minions doing? HAHAHAHAHA!

I liked Dinopark Tycoon. Didn't play it too much as I only had a demo copy.
